Funny enough, in Canada we have common-law and civil-law (Québec), which is where my mind immediately went.

This is actually true of the United States, as well. It's Common Law for pretty much everywhere and Civil Law for Louisiana.

And of course both in the case of US and Canada it is a legacy from the UK, which also have Common Law (unlike the rest of Europe).

TIL. I knew Louisiana had a French history, but not that it maintenaned it in anyway, let alone through the legal code.
